My Twinkling 2021 New Year Star

Without a doubt, this charming little star, Eskarina, was the sparkle in an otherwise disappointing year! So I am going to drop all these pictures right here - at the start of 2022!

One of our Google Duo video phone calls together. The purple hat and frame
in her picture is a phone software program that you can use to decorate
your picture.


Special cookie that grandma bought.  Just  LOADED with icing (sugar.).  She loves
coming to grandma’s house.  I wonder why.  Ha!

First day of Pre-Kindergarden school - 3 year old class!! 
It is hard to wrap my head around how much growth she
has experienced since her birth in 2018!

Her 3 year old school picture.  

Bath time at Grandma’s house.  Bubble baths are the bomb!



Swim lessons - she loves those googles.


Sun glasses indoors.  It is all about the fashion!  And don’t forget the lipstick!!


And these two!!!!!  I love seeing them together.  This little chap is my sister’s grandson - so cousins they are.  They run, and dance, and play together with not one word of disagreement between them. This is a wonderful family relationship that remains with them for their whole lives! 



My two best girls - my daughter and my grand daughter
 at story time during one sleep-over visit last year.

While much has been lost in past Decembers, my small 3 year old twinkling star keeps the sad thoughts away when she is around.

What a treat your post is. Esk is absolutely adorable. Yes, they do grow up fast! Too fast!

Grandchildren are the best reward for being a parent. They light up our lives when things seem to be so dark. Esk is a beautiful child as is her cousin. What a joy they are to watch together.

That sweet face and that energy are good for the spirit! You are fortunate to have two such beautiful souls in your life.
